Is this cobalt a good deal?
I really like this thanks feature. And that's crazy man, I think I'm just gunna check it out. Hopefully they let me take it to get a leak down test. I just wanna make sure it'll be good to go.
Yeah I know man. I know i want an LNF. I screwed up getting this civic in the first place. But I have to finance, so I have to go through a buy here pay here or a stealership sadly.
Sometimes I wonder where my old balt is. When I bought it from the guy he told me clean title, car fax came back saying no accidents, when I went to trade it in they told me it was in 3 accidents, all of which caused frame damage. So I'm going to be vary cautious with whatever I get.
I have to wonder why it was repainted. Unless the colors on their camera are WAY off, that's not original paint.
EDIT: See below, my monitor was messing with me.

So everyone is pointing out good things. I just miss the balt world lol. I know what was wrong with my old balt. I figured it out the day after I traded it in. So I feel like an idiot. That's not an original paint color though? It says it's the color was noted maroon multiple times. You would think it'd have the actual name of the paint on it. I wanna look at it but it's two hours away, just seems like a waste to drive all that way to find out it's not for me.
That looks way too purple. The closest factory color was sport red tintcoat. Again, could be the camera but it looks too purple. Also, isn't it weird that they say that the color was specified?3
EDIT: I take it all back. it was my monitor.

Whoa whoa whoa. 6 different owners? Do not even consider this. Please i repeat do not consider this. You're going to end up with a LOT of headache and thousands of dollars of lost hard earned cash. Don't let your heart get in the way. If you really want an LNF wait and find a good one(far and few used)
I may be new to the forum, but I'm going to have to agree with the general consensus, avoid the car like the plague.
I managed to find my LNF at a dealer about 2 hours from my house, 72k miles, 1 owner, no mods, no accidents. Traded in my 2002 Focus SVT for 2k, paid $9k after taxes. I always wanted one of these, and this was the 7th one I looked at before I pulled the trigger. I found one with 20k less miles, but it was modded to hell and looked like the previous owner always drove it like he stole it. Keep an eye out, you'll find one worth your time.

I mean it looks clean. It's at a ford dealership. Everything seems legit. It just doesn't sit right with me that there have been 6 owners. I think I might keep looking. If anyone has any tips on finding a clean LNF, let me know. And if you spot one that I can finance. Also please let me know. Lol. Thanks everyone.
Find out if any of the owners are dealers. First owner could of traded it in, dealer could of had it on the floor for awhile then sold it to another dealer (now 3 owners).
Then find a performance shop in the area to do a leak down and if the have hptuners pull a quick log of driving around and at least a 2nd and 3rd gear pull. If you need the config files for the car PM me and I'll email you gmtech16540yz's that monitors everything that's need and a thread so the shop can get everything setup right. Then post the logs up here and a few can take a quick look at what the cars doing/commanding. It may cost you 200-300 to get them to do all that but if you want an LNF it's better to drop 200-300 to find out something isn't right now than when you own it and it costs 2000-3000 for the fix.

It looked like most, if not all, of those owners put significant miles on the car. Normally I'd agree though.
Sometimes dealers use the cars daily. Wifes A3 showed 3owners, lease first, then no mile gain between first and second meaning more than likely the first owner bought out the lease, then the dealer had it and drove it about 5k miles over 6months.
